MOODY AND MURPHY.
Their Mission in Chicago Brought te

A Portrait and Biographical Sketch Of
the Celebrated Evan

After four months of incessant labor,
Chicago's honored evangelist, Dwight l.
Moody, has brought his mission 10 close
in this city. None but those who have
watched the evangelistic services closely
can form any conception Of the immense
amount Of labor he has accomplished.
Day after day, and week after week, he
has sacrificed comfort, and even health
itself, in the effort to accomplish ono great
and noble objcct--to proclaim the eled
tidings of sAIvation 70 the psnpa, ~
seek to win souls to Christ. On Jan. 3 No
preached at the First Congregational
Church for the first time in the campaign
against sin and tie devil, and in few days
his audiences grew SO large that the church
would not contain them. Equal to the
emergency, he at once held services in the
afternoon Tor the church workers and those
who could attend in the day, and in the
evening for those whose business occupied
their attention during the day. Still his
congregations increased, and from all parts
OF the city there came to him the cry, "Come
and help u.s." He at once called to his a.
sistance Evangelist Bliss, of Boston, and the
churches at once threw open their doors for
the work. Ministers OF the varions de-
nominations united, the Chicago Evangeli-
zation Society was inaugurated, and .
carefully considered, systematic warfare
organized. After being here a month, Mr..
Moody determined 10 call to his assistance
Francis Murphy, the well-known apostle
of temperance. Feb. 8 Mr.. Murphy de-
livered his first address at Farwell Hall.
From that time until the present gospel
temperance has been in the ascendant.
Thousands nightly hocked to hear Muir
ply, and hundreds daily signed the pledge
and donned the blue ribbon, until the gos-

young Moody's mother, a most estimable
lady Of the Unitarian faith, to whose influ-
ence and superior traits many OF the strong
elements Of Mr.. Moody's character and
work are confessedly due. In 1854 he
sought employment in Boston shoe
store, and in the following year came to
Chicago, to enter similar business situa-
ton. In both Of these cities his earnest
impulsiveness to do good became marked
feature of his daily life. The excellent
ministrations of the churches which he At
his life mission, and he resolved to relin-
qush all business Of a personal nature and
devote himself to the work Of evangelizing.
He took an active interest in the Young
Mems Christian Association Of Chicago,
and established the North Market Mission
Sunday school, since become famous for
its success in the conversion Of mon
to religion. In the summer Of 1861,
says biographer, he devoted most
of his labor to the volunteers Of
the war Of the rebellion who
were stationed in Chicago, and in Noyem-
her of that year, when the United States
Christian Commission was established,
proceeded under it's auspices to the camps
worked, alleviating the sufferings and sup
plying the spiritual necessities Of both
frie nd and foe.
In August. 1862, he was married to Miss
Emma G. Revell, of Chicago, by reason Of
whose sympathy of temper and religious
ardor the union has resulted in great good,
not to them alone but 10 the world. Mr..
Moody has been blessed with two children
"a son and daughter.
The duties Of the Christian Commission
did not prevent him from attending to his
Chicago school. A chapsl-Farwell Hall
was built to supply its growing needs,
and soon out OF the organization arose an
independent church, of which Mr.. Moody
became the pastor. In 1865 be was elected
President Of the Young Mems Christian
Association, and was incessant and indie.
fatigable in his labors to further ito work.
With n two years thereafter, chiefly through
his influence, building. admirably adapt.
ed to its purposes, was erected At > cost Of
$200,O0o.
In October. 1871, the terrible fire, which
devastated Chicago, destroyed Mr.. Moody's
home. Farwell Hall, and his church; but
within month thereafter the latter was
replaced by . wooden structure, called the
North Side Tabernacle, and capable Of
holding 500 persons. Here his labors,
aided bv the musical abilities Of Mr.. San.
key. continued through several years, until
the summer of 1873, when he visited Eng
land. accompanied by Mr.. Sankey.
Since that time Mr.. Moody has been nm
tiring in his good work. He IL one OF the
most resolute and successful Of eyangelists.

AN important land case, involving the
title for q section of land derived under
patent granted on q pre-emption settle
ment made in 1862, in the disputed Des
Moines river lands of Iowa, is before the

ing all of that territory covered by the bill
which passed the last Congress to quiet
titles to lands in the Des Moines river land
district, and which was vetoed by Pres-
dent Cleveland. The President, in his
veto to quiet title to the lands, stated that
the question of ownership was one for the
judiciary instead Of Congress to settle, and
so the decision of the court in this case
will be awaited with interest by hundreds

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Presdent Day. Of
the New York Base Ball club. got home
from the meeting at Pittsburg yesterday.
He said:
There is little of note outside of the reports
telegraphed on Monday. The financial back
ing of the Kansas City club was all that the
league could ask for. In base ball, Just as in
any other business, the man with the most
money has the best chance. To be sure, In
dianapoiS is by far the best located city,
but there is considerable doubt whether they
can raise the required capital 1t will take
$4,000 to enter the league, no matter which
club is selected. The Indianapolis delegates
seemed to be very short of money. The
whole question would have bsen settled had
we not received dispatches from all the other
league clubs insisting that Indianapolis be-
selected. The committee would not take this
responsibility upon themselves, for, if the
club proved u failure, then they would have
to shoulder the blame. The whole thing was
therefore laid over until the league meetina
in this city on March Z.
''How about Glasscock and Denny?'
s'From the present outlook the club that IN
selected will get them; at least they have so
far insisted upon it,
''Then the New York club will not get
Denny?"

THE SENATE.
1t Provides for a Department of Ag-
riculture and Passes Pension
Bill over the Presidents Veto,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Petitions in
very large numbers from Grand Army posts
asking for the passage of the dependent
pension bill over the presidents veto were
presented from Ohio, Michigan, Illinois.
Indiana, Connecticut. Pennsylvania. Min
nesota, New York, Iowa and Maine. Bills
were reported from committees and placed
OH the calendar as follows:
To authorize the president to confer brevet
rank on army officers for gallant services in
Indian campaigns; providing an additional
circuit judge for the Second judicial district;
to encourage the holding Of national in
dustrial exhibition of the arts, mechanics and
products of the colOred race in the United
States in 1888; to authorize the construction
and maintenance of railroad bridge across
the Missouri river at Sioux City, Ia., by the
Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Rail-
way company.
The senate then proceeded to the consid-
Grafton of house bills on the calendar. The
first bill taken up was one to change the
eastern and northern judicial districts of
Texas. MIR. Vest moved, as substitute
for it, the bill to establish United States
court in the Indian territory. A general
debate followed and continued until noon,
when the bill was laid aside and the unfin-
ished business was announced, being the
AGRICULTURE AND LABOR.
Mr.. Jones (Ark.) made an argu-
ment in support of the bill. The several
amendments reported by the senate COM
mittee on agriculture to the house bill were
agreed to. down to the one providing for
the transfer of the signal service bureau to
the department of agriculture and labor.
That led to a discussion. Mr.. Morgan
moved to amend the amendment by limit
ing it to 1.-THE weather service of the signal
service bureau, The consideration of the
agricultural department bill was inter-
rupted to allow the presentation
of a message from the president in rela-
ton to the Cutting matter in Mexico. which
was referred to the committee on foreign
relations, and the presentation Of confer
ence report on the pension appropriation
bill, which was agreed to. Mr.. Morgans
amendment was agreed to. and the section
was further amended, on motion of Mr.. AL
lison, by including in the subordinate force
the second lleutenants now in the service of
the bureau, and by providing that the COM
pensation now paid to the employees and
enlisted men shall continue as now. Mr..
Harrison inquired CT Mr.. Morgan
what would be left of the
signal service of the army if
the transfer were made. Mr.. Morgan re-
piled that there would be nothing left OF it,

WASHINGTON. Feb. 23.-Mr. Reagan, of
Texas asked unanimO US consent for the
immediate consideration of the senate bill
Incorporating the Atlantic & Pacific Ship
Railway company. Mr.. Anderson, of
Kansas, objected, and the bill was referred
to the committee on commerce. Mr.. Will
lis, of Kentucky, asked that the house nom
concur IN the senate amendments to the
river and harbor appropriation bill, but Mr..
Anderson also objected to his re-
the bill Immediately into conference),
and the bill was referred to
the appropriate committee. Mr.. Willis
Immediately reported it back, and, upon a
point Of order, it was sent to the committee
of the whole. Mr.. Dingley (Me.) pre-
sented memorials of the Maine legislature
in favor of legislation to protect American
fisheries and for the passage of the pleuro-
pneumonia bill. Mr.. Belmont On. ".
from the committee on foreign affairs, re-
ported the house substitute bill for the SEN
ate retaliation bill, and under the special
order, asked for its immediate consideration
Mr.. Rice Mass raised the point of order
that the substitute must be referred to the
committee of the whole. on the ground that
it affected the revenue. The speaker over
ruled the point of order, stating that there
was nothing on the face of the bill which
showed that it would either increase or re-
duce the revenue. In the course of brief
discussion as to the limitation of debate,
Mr.. Rice referred to the substitute as the
Belmont bill, a distinction which Mr.. Bel
mont disclaimed, stating that it was the
committees bill, and that it had the ap-
proval of those who were best qualified to
judge of our relations with other govern
meets. 1t was finally determined that de-
bate should be limited to three hours. Mr..
Belmont
OPENED THE DEBATE
by dwelling ON the Importance of the SUBJ
ject upon which the house was now asked
to act. The question of the fisheries was
one that had engaged the attention of the
government from its foundation, and though
from time to time temporary arrangements
had settled it, it had now reached a point
when II again demanded the serious consid-
Grafton of the country. 1t was not mere
commercial question, simply affecting re-
StrlctIOn on American fishermen; the inlpor-
tant question was whether the United States
was willing to acquiesce in repeated yio-
lation of treaty. He briefly sketched the
course of Canadian legislation and COM
mented upon it in the light of the cor
respondence recently published between
Great Britain and the United States. Soon
after the adjournment of congress the fish
ing season would commence. and in self
defense the power of defensive retaliation
should be conferred upon the president
There had been no question in the
senate as to the advisability of
giving this power, but the
